What Naeko Logistics does

Naeko Logistics is a privately held Spanish logistics operator founded in 1997 and headquartered in Sant Boi de Llobregat, Barcelona. Operating as Grupo NAEKO through NAEKO LOGÍSTICS S.A. and wholly-owned subsidiaries NAEKO HANDLING (Barcelona) and NAEKO HANDLING MADRID, the company provides integrated 3PL and 4PL services — including warehousing, inventory management, order fulfillment, customs warehouse operations, cold-chain storage, and air cargo handling — for enterprise customers in technology, fashion, cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutical sectors, spanning both B2B and high-volume B2C e-commerce segments.

Its service portfolio is supported by over 300,000 m² of operational footprint split between Barcelona (Sant Boi de Llobregat HQ plus ZAL I facilities) and Madrid (a new 10,000 m² facility in Torrejón de Ardoz opened August 2022), including a 65 m³ 2-8°C GDP-certified cold chamber and a 100 kW photovoltaic plant. Technology backbone is a proprietary, AI-enhanced warehouse management system that provides real-time operational control, end-to-end traceability, and data-driven decision support, accessed by customers through a self-serve client portal (clientes.naeko.es). Differentiation rests on a dense regulatory stack: GDP, TAPA FSR Level A, ECO/CCPAE, ISO 9001, OEA Authorized Economic Operator, customs warehouse authorizations, and multiple sanitary registrations (RSIPAC, RGSEAA, RERA), enabling high-value, regulated, and air cargo handling use cases that few domestic peers can match.

Naeko runs an enterprise-led direct sales motion with custom multi-year managed-services contracts and targets established companies and growth-stage scale-ups with consolidated volume. The company is independently owned — no parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds are disclosed — and funds expansion organically, as evidenced by the 2022 Madrid relocation, the 2021 GDP and ECO certification expansion, the cold-chain service launch, and a published 2025-2030 sustainability roadmap with a B Corp certification target and +115 kW additional solar capacity planned by 2026.
